It's quite simple, Peter.
Banks create money to cover their running expenses (including losses from
bad loans) by way of a debit to their profit and loss account, but this is
not money floating in thin air. Like all bank created money, it is a loan
that has to be repaid.
You are quite right to point our that the bank gets income from the charges
it makes for keeping accounts, as well as the interest it chages on loans.
But this income is required so that the Bank can balance its books.
Otherwise, it is doing business at a loss, which ultimately ends in
bankruptcy.
